Corporate donation policy

Ours is advice and advocacy that money can't buy

Over the past forty years, Environmental Defense Fund has established itself successfully in the environmental community and on the national stage as one of the most effective member-based, non-partisan organizations working to protect the environment and human health.

To be truly effective in achieving meaningful and significant environmental gains, we must maintain our independence and our organizational integrity.

To ensure this, we have established the following set of corporate guidelines.

Environmental Defense Fund will not accept a donation from any corporation that is:

Engaged in any significant activities that are in direct conflict with Environmental Defense Fund’s environmental protection objectives or activities;

Involved in litigation with Environmental Defense Fund;

A potential beneficiary of advocacy measures Environmental Defense Fund is promoting; or

Engaged in a direct Environmental Defense Fund program activity or partnership.
